How do I snip out a part of a larger .avi video
I've got a 60-minute long, 349-MB .avi of me on one of the ESPN final table telecasts. Trouble is that I get all of 3 minutes of face time, so I want to somehow "clip" those 3 minutes of this very long (and large) video so that I can send it to friends. What kind of program would I need to do that?
I have Nero on my machine...can I use that? If not, is there freeware i can use? |

Re: How do I snip out a part of a larger .avi video
Thanks for the link, but i downloaded that, and tried to use it, and thought that I had been successful, until I started the clip that I had made, and that's where things got wacky:
The original hour-long .avi file was only 350MB, but the 3-minute CLIP i created was a whopping 2.18-gigs! That, plus the audio was all screwed up. I must not have done it right, although the clip i made did start and end at the places I designated >> but why was it so HUGE? Want to give me a quick stepbystep tutorial? All I did to create my file was use the "mark in" and "mark out" controls (the ones that look like bookends) to select where i wanted my clip to start/stop, and then clicked "save as..." |

Re: How do I snip out a part of a larger .avi video
You didn't use a codec when you re-encoded the video. Uncompressed video is literally a bitmap image of every single frame, which is huge. Under the "video" menu, select "compression" and then "cinepax", "divx" or "Indeo" will do then try saving the video again, and it will use the compressor that you selected.
